Ridiculous name and ridiculous spelling

WhenSepEnds · 07/12/2021 13:58

No no no no no

Elbie79 · 07/12/2021 13:57

Oh please God no

uncomfortablydumb53 · 07/12/2021 13:56

No way. It's a child not a kitten

CatDogAlpaca · 07/12/2021 13:52

Why?

nonrevertarinultus · 07/12/2021 13:51

@sprinklesontoast The connotation that comes to my mind is: Thank You God Always, because that's what Tyga the rapper (if he is the inspiration behind the name), says the name Tyga is an acronym for.

ISaidDontLickTheBin · 07/12/2021 13:50

Nooooo. Tiger if you must.

What about squirrel instead?

Spelt Sqeryl.

Any equivalence between Mary-Jayne and Tyga-Blue begins and ends at the hyphen.

DramaAlpaca · 07/12/2021 13:49

It's awful, so a big No from me.

givemepiece · 07/12/2021 13:48

Actually if I'd of had a boy on my 2nd pregnancy this would of been his name tyga-blue

No way.........

I think that there is woman called Tyga something or other, she is an artist of some note, I came across her name, when looking at art stuff on the net.

TheCloudBotherer · 07/12/2021 13:47

Would you want to be called Tyga? Or Tyger? Tiger?
Really?

Staryflight445 · 07/12/2021 13:47

You names your child Mary Jane whilst knowing it’s a reference to whacky backy? Interesting…

Staryflight445 · 07/12/2021 13:46

Gosh no.

SmellyNelliey · 07/12/2021 13:39

Actually if I'd of had a boy on my 2nd pregnancy this would of been his name tyga-blue if I'm completely honest... I had a little girl who's name is Mary-Jayne and although her name is old we are always complemented on it. Your child you name them what you like.

RedRobin100 · 07/12/2021 13:36

Nay

Nay

BettyfromBristol · 07/12/2021 13:31

Good grief no.

Grin it is most definitely not my cup of tea, made me laugh though.

WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll · 07/12/2021 13:28

Sounds like it should be the new hatchback from Ford.

CoastalWave · 07/12/2021 13:26

For a dog yes?

CtrlU · 07/12/2021 13:25

Hell no

Aquamarine1029 · 07/12/2021 13:24

Why would you do this to a child? Horrible name that will label him forever.

OnwardsAndSideways1 · 07/12/2021 13:23

I know a little boy called Tyger/Tyga, not sure which but not Tiger. It's grown on me!

CamsPaisleyCuffs · 07/12/2021 13:20

Even Tiger Woods isn't actually called Tiger. His given name is Eldrick. Tiger is a nickname.
